Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.

Self-Awareness: how an individual consciously knows and understands their own character, feelings, motives, and desires. (Wikipedia)

Some categories of opinions on reality that one can include in self-awareness are politics, economics, history, religion, and medicine.
